Have you seen the BBC programme Scam Interceptors? It was on in the morning, but now has been moved to the evening schedule. Somewhat scary, but you can learn a lot

I did see one episode on daytime tv and it was brilliant; the things the tech team were doing to catch the scammers was brilliant.

Pleased that it has been moved to the evenings though as it is rare that I watch tv during the day.

Well done and thanks for the explanation. And no I didn't click on the link - phew.
Scammers are everywhere!

Well done, Marydoll

I hope no-one has been foolish enough to click on the link.

It was deleted as spam, they did not have permission from GNHQ. I reported it.

Surveys have to have permission from GNHQ.

Was it on here?

Perhaps someone reported it to GNHQ.

Earlier this evening a post came up asking for people to help with a survey on out of hospital services people use and offering an incentive of £50.
Also provided a link but said you may need to cut and paste into your server.
I left a post saying they hadn't said who was conducting the survey and offering money made me suspicious as they would need access to bank details.
Went back a short time later to see if anyone else had replied and the post had gone??
